All the Elements of that Crazy Pittsburgh-Villanova Ending
The Valparaiso-like finish to this one will go down in Tournament lore. Scottie Reynolds, you’ve now got a seat at the table with Danny Ainge and Tyus Edney. But what about Villanova almost throwing the game away with that terrible full-court pass? And then committing the foul on Fields 42 feet away from the basket? [...]
Maybe the Most Impressive 60-Footer I’ve Ever Seen

I’m about to get some rest before the orgy of basketball tomorrow. There was a request for this one in the post below’s comments, so here ya go.

Let’s Get Some Buzzer-Beater Karma Going
I’m going to put up a few of these between now and the time the games tip tomorrow. What beautiful heaven those 1-2.5 seconds are when a basketball is just hanging in the air and everything in your body clenches. Below is Drew Nicholas’ game-winning shot to defeat the 11th-seeded UNC-Wilmington Seahawaks. Everyone’s got a [...]
